Can someone explain to me why Nina is asking Treplev at the end “why are you saying that you are kissing the ground that I walk on “?? Does she think that she doesn’t deserve this or what
Is The Seagull Chekhovs greatest play: GREAT performances by all but knew Nina looked familar found out her name from the end credits was shocked Blythe Danner such a magnicent STAGE actress??!!!
I feel like I am eating up my own life for the honey that I give away. You're the last chapter of my life , if you leave me , I'll be out of my mind. Cast and the acting make your eyes glued and heart enraptured till the end.
2022 July 2, I am still reading Anton Chekov short stories... He read internal spirits of human from different social class and present in fewest words - a short story master...
Beautiful play, perhaps the best play of Chekhov, I wonder if Seagull was written in form of a short story, it would have been a far better creation because I believe Chekhov was a far better short story writer than a playwright. I believe 1978 BBC Play of the month is a far better version/performance than this attempt.
I'm afraid the casting is wrong here. For example, Nina is supposed to be a 18-19 year old girl. Blythe Danner was 32 at the time and she just can't convince me. Masha is also a similar age as Nina, maybe a year or two older, but she's played by an older woman. I also never get to see the actors' faces clearly. They all move around too much.
This is a pitiful performance all around. I suggest anyone interested to watch a Russian production that is so fine! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SaRhIQB7_wo.html. It has English subtitles.
Treplev is not Hamlet, that’s the problem in this one version, he is not a hysterical sociopath too , for Russian this character is far away from this version at all:))))
My first exposure to Chekov. Saw it when it originally aired in 1975 and loved it. Boy, have the actors in this cast aged like the rest of us! Watched it again this evening (THANKS FOR POSTING) and it still holds up quite well. Especially Blythe Danner, Lee Grant and Frank Langella. Some of the supporting performances not as much, but still very compelling and thought provoking. Enjoyed comparing it to the recent film with Annette Bening and Elizabeth Moss, which is also quite well done.
My neo-vagina smells like shit. I never should have let them use the colon and just the facia. I didn’t do it the natural way and now my boyfriend calls me “two shitters.” 😢
I am sorry to have put dislike, but there is nothing saying Chekhov or Russia about this. Almost all actors are wrong for their roles, esp. the ones playing Constantin, Nina and Marsha's mom. Masha is supposed to be much younger than the actress who plays the role. Irina Arkadina here is too vulgar. The emotions are so wrong, again esp. those of Kostya and Nina. Really, the filmmakers should sometimes watch the old Soviet era movies based on Chekhov's plays to get the feeling of the era when Chekhov's was writing. Music is wrong - it sounds Central European, not Russian, besides that's not what aristocracy was playing in Chekhov's time.
Excellent interpretation of Chekhov's play! Some scenes even better than what we seen in the best performances in Russian leading theaters and cinema-versions.
I am russian guy, was seraching for a perfetct represantation of the final scene between Nina and Treplev, watched MANY russian movies and they not even close to this one. SO true to life scene here
@@fondationekomeli238 Maybe, you are right. When I was searching it, I was trying to find idea behind the scene, because I wanted understand the idead behinds characters motivation maybe the actors are overplaying, but I clearly what exactly they think about in a lot of moments.
